Nottingham hits all the right notes on music streaming site Spotify

NOTTINGHAM is hitting all the right notes as residents lap up local talent like Jake Bugg and Dog is Dead.

And music streaming service Spotify has revealed that Nottingham comes second in the charts when it comes to streaming music, beating cities like Birmingham and Edinburgh.

Spotify studied the average number of minutes of music listened-to per day by each Spotify user in each major city in the UK and London came first.

Will Hope, Director of Label Relations at Spotify, said: “Given London’s rich musical history and briliant music scene it’s no surprise that London tops the charts when it comes to having the biggest music fans in the UK. However, it’s interesting to see that the UK’s second biggest community of music fans are in Nottingham, pushing the more famously ’musical’ cities of Manchester and Liverpool down the list.”

To celebrate Spotify has created a Nottingham playlist featuring Jake Bugg, Editors - as one of the members went to Toot Hill school - and Stereo MC's.
